Glorious. The 1990s looking back at the 1980s. So grateful to have lived through and directly experienced such an exciting, fast-moving and quirkily British part of computing history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZjN...

Jeremy Bowen has just laid out the stark reality of the importance of learning from history as regards the naive, short-sighted and selfish US strategy in Iran. An absolute must-listen. BBC Radio 4, Today programme, 11th March, 08:11 onwards.
That was a terrible interview from top Tory comedian Chris Philp, with his stress "tell" of significant swallowing and gulping in evidence. This suggests he knows (of course) that it was a disingenuous report that cherry-picks the easy parts. #r4today

More "Cronies First" than "America First", with Trump propping up the disastrous Milei economy. Is this the template that Badenoch refers to - failure and bailout? Does Farage leadership result in economic failure? Thanks @privateeyenews.bsky.social
Nicely put especially the final sentence . Recipient is Chris Philp..another ex-minister who suffers from amnesia
Yes.
Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · last yr.Happy to report that only half a dozen turned up for the anti-immigrant protest at the hotel in Wolverhampton. They were met by 100 anti-racism protesters from @sutrbirmingham.bsky.social and locals, who subsequently had a whip-round to buy some nice food for the asylum seekers in the hotel.

Well done Jake, a gripping and surprising part 1. (The Canne section was reminiscent of the surreal and dystopian violence of JG Ballard's novel Super-Cannes.)

The founder of AO, John Roberts, is mistaken when he says that when your household appliances break you should go and buy new ones. Surely he ought to be saying that you should seek to get the item repaired instead, and aim to minimise waste and landfill. 5 to 7 year replacement cycle?! #r4today
Doge saved very little money, gutted crucial departments, directly led to 100s of 1000s of avoidable deaths, trashed Musk’s business reputation and ended after less than five months in a gruesome bust-up with the president. But sure, copy that model
